More information:

An Edinburgh Trams service passes through the Ocean Terminal stop in Leith, showing a modern low-floor tram manufactured by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF). The image captures the tram operating along the Newhaven extension, which reconnects the waterfront districts of north Edinburgh to the city’s light-rail network. The background of newly built apartment blocks highlights the close relationship between transport investment and urban regeneration in Leith, where former docklands and retail areas have been redeveloped for residential and mixed-use purposes. The tram line provides a fixed, electric public-transport link between the waterfront, the city centre and Edinburgh Airport, supporting lower-carbon travel and higher-density urban living. Photographed in daylight during normal service, the image documents contemporary public transport operating within a changing urban environment. It is suitable for editorial use relating to sustainable transport, housing development, regeneration policy, and modern city infrastructure in Scotland.
